Title
Flood, 1974, photo 2
Description
This image shows the rear view of a garbage truck partially sunken into Appalachian Street at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in May 1974. The truck can be seen with its rear left tire sunken into the pavement under a pool of water. A man can be seen standing on the left of the truck examining the damage. The small flood was caused when the truck's tire sank into the pavement and broke a water line.
